5 weeks out I was still on soft foods. Make sure you are chewing up your food properly since that is hard on your sleeve. Also a lot of people say their sleeve makes noises after they eat so it may just be that. Good luck!

I am t weeks out and pretty much everything agrees with me except tilapia and avocado. Go figure. Really focus on smaller portions. I have learned through trial and error the last 2 weeks that less is more. Even though I can eat more I probably shouldn't.

@@Soapandcandlequeen I take really small bites and have many a few bites and I'm done but I haven't really eaten in weeks I was just drinking here and there so maybe my sstomach needs time to get used to food again

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
